So, Reddit peeps have noticed the change:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PostgreSQL/comments/ye4719/did_postgresqlorg_just_flip_to_dark_mode/

I agree that the blue-black contrast (e.g., navigation) doesn't seem big
enough and also that having the option to flip dark mode on or off on the
website itself (cookie memory) would be especially nice. Having the only
control (that I know of) be a system-wide dark mode setting is not
desirable for me.

I do appreciate the option and the work that has gone into it. Just needs
a few more tweaks IMO (and some others).
